Conor McGregor Shows Gratitude to 63 Year Old Mother for Upbringing Amid Ireland Turmoil

Conor McGregor is proud of the way he was brought up. McGregor is the man who put Ireland on the map for the UFC. However, just how close is Ireland to his heart? In a recent post, he bore his soul about how he feels about all-Irish schools.

‘The Notorious’ is no stranger to controversy. The post comes after the political struggles in Ireland sparked a lot of violent protests. McGregor has gone back and forth with the government before. This post is yet another in his series of controversial remarks. Here’s the full story.

Conor McGregor is glad about his upbringing in Ireland

For some background into the matter, the Irish government has been facing protests over the last few months. It sparked due to a series of violent stabbings in Dublin, and s significant event was when a woman and three children were attacked by an assailant with a knife.

Soon, things escalated and McGregor took to his X account to let his opinion known. He recounted that they were at “war” among other things. The government did not take kindly to his remarks and launched an investigation into the MMA fighter. Now, he’s sent out another post thanking his mother for sending him to an all-Irish school.

He thanked his 63-year-old mother for his upbringing by retweeting a post that spoke about teaching Irish to children. Clearly, not doing anything to avoid more controversy, McGregor remains outspoken and hence, potentially in the government’s eyes.

Either way, does he really have the time to beef with the Irish government? Right now, McGregor is meant to prepare for his fight against Michael Chandler. He has already announced his final return. So it remains to be seen if he will end up fighting this time around.

McGregor’s return

Conor McGregor is meant to return to the UFC on June 29th, 2024. The fight will be fought at middleweight which will be a new endeavor for the former two-division champion. His opponent, Chandler has accepted the challenge gracefully, but will it be a return-worthy fight?

The Irishman has stayed away from the Octagon for over a year now. He’s perhaps the richest UFC fighter right now and there’s just about no belt on the line. What does that do to a fighter’s motivations? Will McGregor have enough fuel in the tank to come out full steam? There’s very little that can be speculated at this point. However, fans hope to see McGregor fight like he did in his prime.
